>[Twitter](https://twitter.com/) is an online social media and social networking service.

This loader fetches the text from the Tweets of a list of `Twitter` users, using the `tweepy` Python package.
You must initialize the loader with your `Twitter API` token, and you need to pass in the Twitter username you want to extract.

```python
from langchain_community.document_loaders import TwitterTweetLoader
```

```python
%pip install -qU  tweepy
```

```python
loader = TwitterTweetLoader.from_bearer_token(
    oauth2_bearer_token="YOUR BEARER TOKEN",
    twitter_users=["elonmusk"],
    number_tweets=50,  # Default value is 100
)

# Or load from access token and consumer keys
# loader = TwitterTweetLoader.from_secrets(
#     access_token='YOUR ACCESS TOKEN',
#     access_token_secret='YOUR ACCESS TOKEN SECRET',
#     consumer_key='YOUR CONSUMER KEY',
#     consumer_secret='YOUR CONSUMER SECRET',
#     twitter_users=['elonmusk'],
#     number_tweets=50,
# )
```

```python
documents = loader.load()
documents[:5]
```

```output
